Status: MSc Student
YOE: ~1 year

First Online Assessment (60 minutes):

  • 7 debugging problems (simple code snippets)
  • Reasoning ability MCQ

Second Online Assessment (70 minutes):

Phone Interview (60 minutes):

  • Half of it was Behavioural Questions (i.e, what was your most difficult project? Tell me about a time you couldn't deliver a project on time).
  • Other half was full of OS-based questions since this internship focuses on OS. For example, what is virtual memory? what is TLB? what are the types of interrupts? etc.

Takeaway:

Phone interview wasn't that great since I was surprised of being bombarded with alot of OS questions so I struggled a bit answering all of them. Definitely be well prepared for what type of internship you are applying for. I managed to express my thought process while writing code and practice makes perfect. Don't only practice your intuition on solving problems. Practice on how you can show your intuition to an interviewer/colleague while solving problems. This was my first ever interview so it was an overall not bad experience.
